Lismore local and ally of Aussie Helping Hearts, Mark O’Toole, lost everything in the floods. In the aftermath, Mark set about helping people in the region even though he didn’t have a liveable house himself.
Devastatingly, on November 17, Mark had a near-fatal car accident that will see him out of action for months as he recovers. We are on standby to help Mark when the time is right, but in the meantime, a crowdfunding initiative has been set up for him.
When Aussie Helping Hearts held our pre-launch on October 28, Mark shared his experience of the floods and assisting others in the aftermath. He expressed deep disappointment that there’s no support in the Lismore region to help locals recover. Like countless others, he desperately wants to see Aussie Helping Hearts operating in full swing in the region again.
Now, with Mark’s accident, we must rally around him to see him back on his feet. We invite you to watch the videos below to gain more insight into who Mark is and why he is an unassuming hero who now needs our help.
